Security score

58/100

Risk levelMedium

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website thueringen.de is the official online presence of the German federal state of Thuringia, providing governmental information and services. However, the current content is inaccessible due to an HTTP 403 Forbidden error, indicating that access is blocked, likely by security configurations. The site is protected by Link11, a cybersecurity provider, which suggests active web application firewall (WAF) measures are in place. The lack of accessible content, privacy policies, contact information, or terms of service on the error page limits the ability to fully assess the website's compliance and user engagement features. The domain registration data aligns with the governmental nature of the site, hosted by reputable providers, confirming legitimacy.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Thuringia's official government website targets residents, businesses, and visitors seeking regional information and public services. The business model is public service delivery with no commercial intent. The site holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for regional governance. However, the current access restrictions hinder user engagement and service delivery. No advertising, tracking, or marketing tools are detected, consistent with government sector norms. The domain and hosting infrastructure are stable and trustworthy, but the lack of accessible content and policies reduces transparency and user trust.

Security posture

The website employs Link11 WAF protection, indicating a proactive security posture against attacks. However, the 403 Forbidden error page suggests strict access controls that may inadvertently block legitimate users. No security headers or SSL configuration details are visible in the provided data, limiting full security assessment. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information reduces transparency. Recommendations include improving error handling to provide user guidance and contact options, implementing comprehensive security headers, and ensuring SSL/TLS best practices are followed.

Recommendations

  1. Review and adjust access control policies to prevent unintended blocking of legitimate users.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide accessible contact information and support channels on error pages.
  4. Implement and expose security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and publish vulnerability disclosure and incident response procedures.
Site observations

Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Generic detected. The website returns a 403 Forbidden error page indicating access is blocked. The page mentions protection by Link11, a known cybersecurity/WAF provider. These observations may be incomplete. For a fuller analysis, contact guard@offseq.com.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 technologies with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting appears to be managed by Deutsche Telekom, a reputable provider. The site lacks modern SEO and accessibility features, and the content is currently blocked by a 403 error, severely limiting user experience. Mobile optimization is basic, and no analytics or tracking scripts are present. Technical debt is evident due to the lack of accessible content and missing policy pages. Modernization opportunities include improving content delivery, enhancing mobile responsiveness, and integrating accessibility and SEO best practices.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
